I created a nerdy intro for barbarianmeetscoding.com:

Also spent tons of quality time with the family. :D

I released a thing I've been working on for months!

Readymade is a microlibrary for developing Web Components with TypeScript.

That's pretty cool! I've been going the other direction with WC's when I have time in the evenings — that is creating separate CSS, JS and HTML files and having RollUp do all the work behinds the scenes. I'm sort of enjoying not working with a framework.

Going to have to play with your lib for one of my experiments. Thanks for your work! I'm excited for another way to do them. :)

I wanted the css to be inline with the component, so I made this to at least post process the css with postcss.

npmjs.com/package/rollup-plugin-in...

Nice. tagged templates are pretty awesome, though I'd never seen them until I played with lit-element. More ways to produce WC's is a great thing.

I really like the css-tied-to-component idea (in WC's and other frameworks), just don't enjoy writing CSS or HTML in JS. Probably silly of me, but I got RollUp to inline the separate CSS & HTML files in a template literal inside the final JS bundle without much fuss. Never could make webpack do it.

Much Angular. When does a library stop being vanilla, this is a question that bothers me often. Good job though, sorry for the philosophy!

Is Readymade vanilla? I’d like to think it’s mint chocolate chip.

I'm down for chic chips but I rarely like mint in ice-cream. 🍨

I know it sound dumb but this week I learned the power of vlookup in Excel and it helped me shorten the amount of work I had to do to translate our app from English to French. Instead of taking around 7-8 days to do, it took 5! :3

My biggest win this week was finally getting around to building PlaceKeanu.com, which I had in my list of ideas for some time. 😍

It had an overwhelming response, so thank you if you checked it out. ❤️

I also wrote two DEV articles! One published today, which I'm really happy about, and one related to the Keanu project.

I hope everyone has a lovely weekend. 🤗

My win for this week is that I did some coding :) . After a few years of managing a group of devs and not having any time to do any coding that actually goes to production, I took some tasks from our backlog. I coded in React, Java 8 and played with Docker. It was fun!
